Channels of Devotion
By Fr. Joseph Husslein.
Impr. 1952.
221 page book.
This work, the last one penned by Fr. Husslein before his death in late 1952, details a collection of concrete and visible objects of devotion and veneration considered universal to the Catholic faith. Many have been incorporated into the Church's official liturgical worship, such as the devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and to the Sacred Heart. Others are recognized by the Church as monthly devotions, such as devotions to the Infant Jesus, St. Joseph, Our Lady, Guardian Angels, and the souls in Purgatory. Many view this work to be a fitting culmination to Fr. Husslein's priestly writing career as it may be considered his bequest to us to increase our love of God by obtaining a better understanding of these devotions. By doing so, we may receive our final reward in Heaven.
